Skyrim: Top 5 Side Quests You Need to Play in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

Skyrim is a game of many quests the Dragonborn can take up as apart of The Elder Scrolls 5’s main storyline and it’s factions. However, some of Skyrim’s most memorable adventures aren’t attached to the grand campaign and are instead entirely independent side quests. Side quests offer many of TES 5’s best adventures and definitely shouldn’t be overlooked. So today we’ll be taking a look at my top five side quests in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Nate pin me or I will never let M'aiq over to your house again

COOKIE WOKE

We can all agree that the crimson nirnroot quest is by far the best. The only thing that comes close to it is finding all of the unmarked unusual gems hidden all across skyrim.

You know the drillTop 10 skyrim trees

Bjajjeg

I miss the outro with the mammoths and the giant chicken.

Ghosta FN

I'm early so I'll make a joke Nate not saying murdered to death in a video

PaWeloWi GAMING

In the last thieves guild quest you can choose one of the nightingale powers. During the battle against Mercer Frey, he actually possesses all three.

Aitch Ess

The secret killer isNazeem

Charles Hays

I would enjoy blood on the ice... If only it wasn't the buggiest quest in the game. I could never get the quest to work. The guard never spawned, and i could never complete it.

I liked the Lexicon one where you saw the ghosts of the failed explorers and got 15% boost to smithing xp

Interesting little continuity problem with Rise in the East. If you note the ship you get onto in Windhelm, it is completely different to the one you get off of when you arrive at the shrouded island. Then, when you’re ready to go back after completing the quest, it’s changed back to the original ship again.

Oh yeah yeah

I have to say my favorite quest in the Elder Scrolls series is the one where you basically play the villain in a slasher flick. it's a Dark Brotherhood quest in Oblivion, where you're sent to a house with like 4-5 strangers to murder them to death(Dark Brotherhood, what do you expect?), with an added bonus for doing so without being detected. I remember when I played it, I managed to convince one of the two remaining characters that the other remaining character was the killer, and they took them out. It's rather appropriately called "Whodunit?"

Jay Kay

As weird as it might sound, I actually accidentally stumbled across "Rise in the East"

N7 Special Operatives

A murder here and a murder there! People are being murdered to death

Vitor Rodrigues

11:23 "in broad daylight", *shows attempted murder at the Middle of the night*

Blixen

"No Stone Unturned" and "A Return To Your Roots" are the best side-quests tbh.

Ali

Hey Nate! Huuuuuuge fan, just wondering have you ever played Skyrim? It's such a great game! Hope you notice me in all these crazy comments! Keep up the great work! #murderedtodeath

Someone should do a compilation every time nate says murdered to death

Catman 12

FUS RO DAH I beat COOKIE WOKE to the comments

Creased Horizon

I actually don't think the stones of barenziah was a bad quest. For one you can get the stones really quickly by interacting with one several times quickly, thus getting 2 or 3 stones from one location. And the part where you get the crown is actually fun imo because you go through the ruin finding out what happened to caravan and seeing the ghost. Its a fun little mystery in its own right

Don't let this video distract you from the fact that Obi Wan needed Anakin to save him from Count Dooku TWICE in LS duels and then defeated Anakin in a LS Duel.#IHaveTheHighGround#AnakinLostHisWang

You forgot to mention that Illia can be your allie but if you leave her you won't be able to find her again.

J&J Puppets

But do I really need to play them?

Jacob Crumpton

Killing grelod is probably my favorite, simply because of all the... unique ways to do it that give me a laugh. For example, I once stripped my character naked, got them drunk so that I couldn't see the screen clearly, and punched her to death.Also, apparently if you drink enough mead in skyrim, it'll screw with your vision temporarily, though that may have just been processing trouble as my computer started to overheat.

Mendicant Biased

During my first playthrough, I wanted to get into the Dark Brotherhood and only knew that Riften and Windhelm were important. Also, I needed to murder someone to death. So, tried to murder Jorleif. Fun fact: he's an essential NPC until the end of his quest. At least on the Xbox 360 version. I didn't know he was connected to The Blood on the Ice. So, that was annoying.

Popular note ' the east empire company is based on the east india company a British private trading company from the early 1600s up to 19th century ' they once controlled half of the world's trade and their army in India was at one point twice the size of the British resident army, they were credited with forming most of the british empire.

I always hate getting the Strange Amulet stuck in my inventory...

sharon jones

I played Skyrim for a long time .I did the quest when you steal Frost for Louis Latush . Well after a while(not quite sure how long) I got my house in Faulkreath well I stop by once and Louis comes running by yelling help we’ll Maven sent a thug to kill him he said Maven sends her regards. I loaded up again to see if I could save Louis but it never happened again. It must be something that happens very rare.Want to no if this ever happened to you or anyone else.

Surpriser04

Nate can you do one of these for fallout 4?

Some guy online

AsgardGaming

I have never done the quest with Illia until recently and now she's my favorite follower

Lyle

My favorite side quest is the one concerning the wolf queen. I love that quest.

Cody Miller

I personally enjoy the quest where you go up a really tall mountain and kill a big black dragon.... Alduin was his name I think? Best side quest for sure. But it doesn't hold a candle to the main quest... the thieves guild of course!

Navraj Gill

Is teldryn sero one of those morag tong assassins? He is a follower you can get on solstheim that looks just like them

dragonborns firstborn's secondborn

Hey did you know that you can have gay marriage in skyrim i told this in one other comment also

Amp

You forgot the cursed ring quest, where you assist the werewolf

Itz_Mike Films

Jona Lottner

Sin of Envy

Blood On the Ice was easily my favorite side quest

Mason malloy
